Supporting Farmers in Need This Winter: #BlaneyCommunity Forager X10 Campaign
November 4, 2024
Nominate a farmer who could use an extra helping hand this winter! We’re excited to launch the #BlaneyCommunity Forager X10 Campaign, where we invite you to nominate a farmer who could benefit from the use of our Forager X10 bale unroller from December 2024 through March 2025. It’s our way of giving back to the farming community, and we’re thrilled to offer this opportunity to help someone in need.
Why the Forager X10?
The Forager X10 isn’t just any bale feeder – it’s a unique self-loading round bale feeder designed to make feeding silage easier, faster, and more efficient. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:
- One-tractor or telehandler operation: The Forager X10 can be used with either a tractor or a telehandler, making it adaptable to different setups. This flexibility allows farmers to self-load, feed, and control the silage output from the comfort of their vehicle, with no back-breaking manual labour – just a smooth, efficient feeding process.
- Adjustable output: With the Forager X10, you can easily control the amount of silage dispensed, ensuring livestock get the exact amount they need. Less waste means more value from every bale.
- Improved livestock health: Fresh silage each day is not only more palatable but also encourages better intake, supporting increased liveweight gain. For farmers, this can mean a healthier herd and better profitability.
Our Forager X10 is typical of Blaney innovation – designed to save farmers time and effort while helping improve livestock performance and supporting more profitable farming.
